The message looks a lot like Native American Wampum belts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wampum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wampum
I can wonder how many of those Wampum belts which remain are still well understood?
(Given the use of Wampum to store and transfer knowledge, the reason Native Americans were so eager to trade beaver pelts and such for small colorful beads from Europe was essentially equivalent to people today being willing to trade used empty Starbucks coffee cups for new Flash IC storage chips...)
